2021 Five Ponds Golf Association
Welcome to the Five Ponds Golf Association! The 5PGA has been revised to provide you with a full season schedule of amateur golf tournaments that we hope you will find both fun and competitive. We look forward to continuing the tradition of great golf and providing the best playing conditions throughout the season to our association members. “New for 2020” we have expanded the playing opportunities and updated the schedule to help spread out the matches to offer you the best opportunity to participate.
We offer 15 in-house tournaments exclusively for our association members, which is capped off with our year end Ryder Cup and Banquet. Also, you can enjoy our “Open” events at Five Ponds where you will receive a $5.00 discount on entry fees for being a 5PGA Member.
All 5 Ponds Golf Association members may register to compete on one of our three Golf Association of Philadelphia (G.A.P.) teams. Five Ponds has had a history of great play in the GAP Matches and we look forward to having you join us in 2021! Five Ponds is now a part of Senior GAP matches!
We look forward to a great season!
